June enrollment

The administrative unemployment rate stands at 4.3%, the lowest ever recorded in the Balearic Islands and much lower than the national rate of 11.4%.

The affiliation in the month of June was 622,446 people in the Balearic Islands, which means an increase of 5% compared to a year ago and reaches a record of affiliation in the whole historical series of the Balearic Islands, being a month of June. This is one of the main data presented today by the acting Minister of Economic Model, Tourism and Labor, Iago Negueruela, who explained the evolution of the labour market in June.

This data on affiliation is the highest, in percentage terms, in Spain. In fact, and in relation to May, the Islands created 20,889 jobs, which means that almost one out of every two of the new affiliations registered in Spain (54,541) have been generated in the Islands.

With these data, the conseller predicted a very intense high season, which will allow, for the first time, to accumulate 5 months with affiliations above 600,000 people, between May and September.
